Hello ~~ thank you for checking out my dog collar page!
In addition to raising Saint Bernard puppies, I also make collars and leashes.
Shortly after I acquired my first Saint (many, many years ago!) I quickly realized how difficult it was to find collars that
fit them while still being attractive ~ I had no luck in the local pet stores so I decided to shop on-line ~ yikes!!
I found some beautiful collars with matching leads, however, was going to break the bank to purchase them. So I decided
to do some research on how to make a dog collar. Since I've been sewing my entire life, I figured this may be something
I could figure out. I did months of research, found some great hardware suppliers and here I am! I think what
I love most about doing this is the fact that I know my collars are durable because I use them on my own "monsters"
AND....they are gorgeous, in addition ~ you won't "break the bank" in my shop!!! Everytime we go somewhere,
at least one person will ask: "where did you get his collar?".
************************************************************
How they are made: What you will see
at first sight are the high quality designer fabrics that I use, those fabrics are covering a strong webbing core that resists
moisture and will not stretch. I sew the fabric securely around the webbing ~ it's sewn directly onto the webbing so
there is no "twisting or shifting" at all. The next step is adding the hardware. I use the highest quality
hardware ~ you will see most of my designs with high quality durable acetate side release buckles, nylon slip lock buckles
(for size adjustment) and nickel plate cast D rings (for leash and tag attachment) ~ this is called my "standard"
hardware. I also offer several hardware upgrades ~ in fact, I love using metal hardware for my dogs ~ it's a very classy
look and I feel a bit more comfortable using that type of hardware on my huge dogs......this may be something you would want
to consider if you are looking for a collar for your extra large breed. Since all of my pieces are custom made, you
can pick & choose all of the options and basically create your own custom collar.
************************************************************
Please contact me if you have any questions or if you would like to start the
process of designing your own collar ~ custom orders are ALWAYS welcome!!! Just let me know what breed type your
dog is and what you would like your collar to look like ~ I will get back to you with my suggestions and we can go from there

Below is just a sampling of my pieces ~ you can see my entire
